This week we had a workshop with the Character Designer Gillian Reid. It was such fun!She started by explaining how she usually worked and asked us to do the same: we had to imagine a character and his hobby.Here is my old grumpy granny with a secret passion for DJing and electronic music!Firstly, we had to make different shapes trying to go over the stereotypes:

After we found the shape we prefered, we had to draw different rough positions of our character without going into too much detail:

Later we had to do the same with the head and the expressions, going more in details:

This is the result of the few hours of workshop with Gillian and I enjoy it so much. After a morning like this, how can you stop drawing? Such fun... So, I just drew few more pictures before my wrist "told me" to stop.

About Me

Hello there! I'm Alice, welcome to my blog. Graduated in 2015 in Animation Production at Arts University Bournemouth (UK), I currently work as Assistant Animator at Lupus Films, in London. Drawing is my life and, aside animation, I love sketching and painting: my art takes me to see new places and meet new people and I hope I will continue in this way. People inspire me and I want to inspire you back.
